Favorite Things: Vol. XIII – Fall Edition

Favorite Things

In honor of the first week of fall, I decided to do a special edition of Favorite Things! Featuring my favorite fall things that are 167% getting me so amped for leaves changing their colors, apple cider, and crisp air.

1. Fall Candles:

This candle that I ordered off Amazon just smells exactly like fall should. Plus it has the funniest name 😂

It is layered so the scents will change up the longer you burn it. The top is banana bread, the middle is toasted coconut, and the last smells like hazelnut. It also has a 100 hour burn time, so by the time you get to the hazelnut layer, it might be winter!

Me ranting about this candle is NOT sponsored, I just really love it to be honest! And if you want to double up on the smell of banana bread, you could always make my recipe 🙂

2. Soup Season!!!!

This tweet cracked me up:

forget pumpkin spice IT’S SOUP SEASON

YOU’VE GOT
POTATO SOUP
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
FRENCH ONION SOUP
CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
CHEESY BROCCOLI SOUP
ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP
TOMATO SOUP

just so many soups happy soup season

Considering making a post about all of my soup recipes that I compile haha

Do you have a favorite soup recipe? Share it in the comments!

3. Cheetah Print Mules

Someone PLEASEEEEE help my find a cute pair of cheetah print mules that are for narrow feet. I absolutely love this trend for fall, but I’ve ordered like 13 pairs of mules and none are fitting me. How cute is this pair from Amazon? ❤️ Plus they are $25!!

4. Literally Everything

Lastly, what would a Favorite Things post be without my latest letterboard? 🙂 Happy fall y’all!

Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered around traditionally boy-ish things like trucks and sports, and while my son LOVES those things, I think boys don’t always get all the whimsy that girls get. Whimsy is for girls AND boys!! Every childhood deserves to be whimsical 🥰 #toddlermom #toddleractivities #whimsy #whimsicalhome

DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈 This is a DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈
This is a great project to use up fabric scraps and an old bed sheet with no sewing machine required.
You will need an iron, fabric, fabric scissors, a printer, Heat N Bond, and hem adhesive. Hopefully this tutorial is helpful to anyone trying to make a similar birthday banner without sewing experience. It’s fun to make and I love knowing that we can use this banner for all the birthdays to come! 🥹❤️ #whimsy #birthdaycrafts #toddlermom #whimsicalchildhood

Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while preg Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while pregnant, parenting a toddler, and trying to maintain a carb-conscious diet is not for the weak! Here’s what I ate in a day pregnant: SICK EDITION 🤧 my dietician had told me back with my first pregnancy that your blood sugars are going to be naturally higher when you are sick, so if you are checking blood sugars while sick and with gestational diabetes, it may be harder to keep them in range. Take care of yourself and try your best ❤️ #pregnant #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic
The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so th The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so thankful, but also I cannot LOOK at raw meat, I’m googling everything, and this baby might be 90% French fries from the 1st trimester 🤪 but my 1st trimester was soooooo much easier this time than with my first! #pregnancy #pregnancyhumor #pregnant

Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy with my son, I’m being carb-conscious while I wait to take my glucose test at about 24 weeks pregnant. I’m roughly following the guidelines I was given back in 2022, but obviously not monitoring blood sugars at this time since I don’t officially have a diagnosis at this time. Hopefully this gives you some meal and snack ideas if you are being carb-conscious or have gestational diabetes! #gestationaldiabetes #pregnancy #whatiatetoday
